Post to the Host:
Hello. Several times you have mentioned pumpkin pie as mediocre and merely "an excuss for using nutmeg." The pies I grew up on are from a recipe right off the back of the Libby's can and contain no nutmeg. The store-bought pies always taste funny to me, they must have nutmeg in them. Is this a reference to the legend about sailors abusing nutmeg aboard ship to alter reality, or some other nutmeg myth? I do rate the Libby pumpkin pie and whipped cream up there with fresh sweet corn.

Thanks,

T.C., you can't be serious. You simply can't. Anyone who puts canned pumpkin on a par with fresh sweet corn has never eaten fresh sweet corn. Either that, or you have a serious nutmeg problem. You need help.
